Edson Buddle and Omar Gonzalez scored from David Beckham's spot kicks in an 8-minute span of the first half to lead the Los Angeles Galaxy to a 2-1 victory over Seattle Sounders FC in Major League Soccer's Western Conference semifinal Sunday.

Fredy Montero's left-footed strike gave Seattle a 3-1 lead early in the second half, but D.C. United rallied with a pair of late goals, including an own goal off the head of Seattle defender Tyrone Marshall to salvage a 3-3 tie with the Sounders on Wednesday night.
